Movies that feel likeBeauty and the Beast (2014)

Forced to face the cruel side of life, a devastated, bankrupt merchant chances upon the enchanted castle of a hideous creature, the mere sight of it chills the bone to the marrow. There, a fate worse than death awaits the poor father-of-six, who, after plucking a sweet-scented rose from the repulsive master's verdant garden, must do the impossible: permit his compassionate daughter, Belle, to take his place and pay for the sins of her parent. Now, an impenetrable mystery shrouds the haunted mansion, and, as repugnance gradually turns into affection, only true love could break the spell.

If you loved Beauty and the Beast, the closest films we have are I Am Dragon (2015), The Time Traveler's Wife (2009) and Curse of the Golden Flower (2006). All three share Beauty and the Beast's dreamlike and romantic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Thief of Bagdad (1940).
